The Party

Yesterday we celebrated Sabi's birthday. The whole Fairy Tale theme worked out well. Our home was transformed into the Magical Kingdom of Sabi-Land. All of the guests came in costume.

We ended up running the party in stations or centers. This is what we ended up with:1) Jack's Nursery: (Jack and the Beanstalk)Here the kids could make a book about growing a bean plant. Then they could plant their very own beans to take home and watch them grow. 2) Cinderella's Schoolhouse: (Cinderella)In this center each child received a folder full of Fairy Tale themed worksheets that included crosswords, dot-to dots and sequencing.3) The Shoemaker's Workshop: (The Elves and the Shoemaker)Arts and Crafts! The kids got to decorate their own crown to wear.4) The Big Bad Wolf's Library: (Little Red Riding Hood)

Here the kids got to read classic Fairy Tales and also twisted versions of these stories.5) The Three Pig's Hotel: (The Three Pigs)A resting stop with board games to play.

Lol... you're SUCH a teacher! I love how all of your centers tied in with the theme. And you even managed to make some of them educational! I might steal some of these ideas and do a fairy tale festival day in my classroom. Thanks for the inspiration!
